Description

"Yoga for Asthma" provides a structured series of yoga poses which aim to alleviate Asthma by strengthening your lungs and reducing stress. If you suffer from difficulty breathing and shortness of breath from asthma, bronchitis or emphysema, you may find your symptoms improve gradually over time from regular practice with this app.

According to ancient Ayurvedic Medicine, asthma is defined as a weakness of the lungs. The exercises in the app were chosen because they strengthen the lungs, reduce coughing and improve overall breathing ability.

“Yoga for Asthma” draws upon traditional hatha yoga and was formulated by an expert in ancient yogic methods. The program guides you through several yoga poses while emphasizing correct breathing methods. As you become accustomed to the exercises, you can change the settings from beginner to intermediate, and then to advanced, for a longer more effective session.

This app has HD graphics and is compatible with high-resolution tablets. Users may want to first try our app "Core Yoga" which is better suited for beginners. After practicing "Core Yoga" for a few weeks, you should be able to comfortably practice "Yoga for Asthma".

Smart Foods - Organic Diet Buddy is your essential color coded guide to fruit and vegetables, know which you should buy organic and which are safe to buy non organic.

It includes:* Farmers Market information for all 50 States so you can include local produce in your diet.* Farmers Market Finder - just click the pin in the top right corner to find markets nearest you.* Nutritional info - know what vitamins each fruit and vegetable have, and what diseases they are good at protecting you against.* Prep information - Know how to correctly wash and prepare the fruits and vegetables.* Pesticide profiles of Fruits & Vegetables - How much is used, and if they leave a residue.* Nutrition Calculator - Daily Fruit and Vegetable requirements for optimum health.* GMO information - Know what fruits and vegetables are commonly GMO.* Favorites list - Add to your favorites by clicking the "heart +" icon in the top right corner for a quick reference to your favorite foods and markets. Great to use as a shopping list too!

Organic food is the safer choice when it comes to buying produce, as conventional varieties often contain high levels of pesticide residues. However, not everyone can afford to go 100% organic every time they shop. This app is a guide to which fruits and vegetables you should buy organic. There are some fruits/veggies that you should always buy organic, if possible, because their conventionally grown counterparts tend to be laden with pesticides.

By avoiding the foods most contaminated with pesticide residues, consumers can reduce their pesticide exposure by 80% without affecting their budgets.

Eat better with our simple tips and a farmer's market locator so you can find the good stuff locally. Add favorites and calculate how many fruits and vegetables you should be eating daily. Let the good health begin!

*****************************WHAT ARE PESTICIDES

Pesticides are used to repel, control or kill organisms in order to reduce their negative impact on agricultural products. Modern pesticides target weeds, insects, bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi and other pests that reduce agricultural yield.

Excessive pesticide contamination can be harmful to human health. Even after washing, some fruits and vegetables consistently carry much higher levels of pesticide residue than others.

Some fruits and veggies are better to buy organic, and others are safe to buy non-organic. Some fruits and vegetables require very few pesticides for growth. Some, due to tough skins or peels, absorb fewer residues.

Many fruits and vegetables, however, are sprayed with multiple pesticides, and act like sponges, absorbing residues that are difficult to wash off entirely. Peaches have very thin skin, and are hard to wash, so it is recommended that you buy organic if you can.

*********************FIND LOCAL FARMERS MARKETS

Shopping at your local Farmers' Market is good for you and it's good for your town. Where else can you talk right to the producers and know exactly where your food comes from, and how it's grown?

Need more reasons to shop local? Check out this great article: http://blog.saagara.com/5-reasons-to-shop-at-farmers-markets/

For example, before going to bed you may use the Classical style each time, or before going for a run try the Nature style. We suggest the Vedic style when using the app for deep meditation and to improve creativity. Most importantly, use whatever style of music that feels most comfortable to you.

“Yoga for Weight Loss” is part of Saagara’s new series of apps for various ailments. Combining the simplicity of “Core Yoga” with traditionally therapeutic yoga poses, we’ve constructed an app aimed solely at helping users manage their weight.

While dieting has been shown to reduce visceral fat, exercise is essential for burning subcutaneous fat stores (those that cause belly and thigh fat). This app is designed to help you tone your abs, get in shape, and improve your overall health.

According to the yogic texts, excess fat must be converted to strength and energy for effective weight loss. “Yoga for Weight Loss” has incorporated specific exercises which mobilize the body’s fat reserves and turn them into usable energy. Regular practice of these exercises makes the body lean and healthy.

“Yoga for Weight Loss” draws upon traditional hatha yoga and was formulated by an expert in ancient yogic methods. The program guides you through several yoga poses while emphasizing correct breathing methods. As you become accustomed to the exercises, you can change the settings from beginner to intermediate to advanced, for a longer more effective session.

This app has HD graphics and is compatible with high-resolution tablets. Users may want to first try our app "Core Yoga" which is better suited for beginners. After practicing "Core Yoga" for a few weeks, you should be able to comfortably practice "Yoga for Weight Loss”.

Core Yoga contains 7 classic yoga asanas that will strengthen and tone your entire core. You’ll become more flexible and increase your muscle strength all over your abdomen. Core Yoga is easy enough for beginners, but effective enough for advanced practitioners of yoga to feel the burn too.

This is the Free version. Purchase the Full version for the ability to keep track of your daily progress with a log and experience ad free sessions! Check it out here: http://budurl.me/cy-android-upgrade

Breathing is an essential component of yoga and is often neglected. The movements of the asanas are timed to the rate of your breathing. During the exercises you will inhale during movements which expand the chest, and exhale during movements which contract the chest.

In yoga, there is an axiom: "You are only as old as your spine". The stronger and more flexible your spine, the younger you are. Exercises which promote flexibility will also promote your overall health, and improve your coordination and balance.

This app is not an encyclopedia of yoga poses, but rather a structured series of exercises designed to improve your core muscles and flexibility. The exercises are guided by musical cues that enforce the proper timing and synchronizes your movements with your breathing, the virtual yoga instructor provides visual cues eliminating the need for distracting voice overs so your exercise can be a truly mindful experience.

This app builds on Saagara's flagship app "Universal Breathing: Pranayama", an application that guides you to slower, deeper breathing. If you want to build up your stamina and maximize effective breathing, we recommend that you also check out our app Pranayama. It will guide you to more effective breathing and will help you become fitter and less stressed!

Chakra Meditation is a simple yet beautiful training tool that promotes meditation using accurate visuals and sounds based on traditional yoga practices. This is the latest addition to our collection of health and wellness apps.

According to Eastern Philosophy, chakras are energy centers rising from the base of your spine going all the way up to the crown. There are seven main chakras in our body which govern our psychological qualities. The four chakras in our upper body govern our mental aptitude and the three in the lower body govern instinctual properties. By learning to tune into the energy of your chakras, you can begin to improve your overall health.

Western medicine has done multiple studies, which suggest that meditation is beneficial for our health and well being. Chakra Meditation combines the strengths of technology with tradition to bring you focus, balance and energy.
